Network setup was unsuccessful.

• Make sure you select the right network name.

• If you see a ﬁ rewall alert message, click Unblock or Allow to let setup

continue.

• If your network has security enabled, make sure you enter your

network password (WEP key or WPA passphrase) correctly. If it has uppercase (ABC) or lowercase (abc) letters, make sure you enter them correctly.

• Try moving the product to a different location. Avoid placing it next to

a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone, or large metal object such as a ﬁ ling cabinet.

• If your wireless router doesn’t broadcast its network name (SSID),

manually enter your wireless network name. Make sure there aren’t any access restrictions (such as MAC address ﬁ ltering) set on the wireless router. If access restrictions are set, register the product’s MAC address on the router. Print a Network Status Sheet (see below) to obtain the MAC address. Then see your router’s manual for instructions.

currently enabled in the printer. Press the Network Information button to print a network status sheet.

WPS-compatible wireless router, make sure you press the Wi-Fi button on your printer and the WPS button on your router within 2 minutes of each other.

The product’s WiFi light is on but you cannot print.

Your router might not be assigning IP addresses automatically using DHCP. If it isn’t, you will need to set the product’s IP address manually. Make sure it is set correctly for your network.

Make sure it is securely connected as shown:

Printing Problems

• Make sure the size of paper you loaded matches the paper size

selected in your printer software.

• Printing stops when an ink cartridge is expended. If a cartridge is

expended, you must replace it to continue printing.

Paper Feeding Problems

If paper doesn’t feed correctly, remove the paper and fan the sheets, then reload them. Don’t load paper above the tabs on the edge guides.

Print Quality Problems

• Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up (usually the whiter,

brighter, or glossy side).

• For the best print quality, use Epson papers and genuine Epson ink

cartridges.

• Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper type

setting in your printer software. See the online User’s Guide for more information.

• If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too

faint, run a nozzle check to see if the print head needs cleaning. See the online User’s Guide for more information.

• If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print

head. See the printed Basics guide for instructions.

• The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge levels and

replace cartridges, if necessary. See the online User’s Guide for more information.
